Sarah’s comment yesterday about the neighborhood that tries to outdo one another in terms of decorations made me realize I haven’t told you about the house in my neighborhood yet!

I haven’t taken a picture yet, but I’ll have to before Halloween is over.

And, I’d just like to say that these decorations have been up since early September.

First of all there are 9 - yes NINE big blow up thingies - there’s Skeleton Homer (Simpson), a ghost or two, a cat, one of those snow globe ones, I think a Pooh bear. There’s a giant blow up man eating purple tarantula on the roof of the house.

Nine of them!

Now, a normal person may think this would be enough, overkill even, but no.

There are also lights - orange and purple - on every available surface. More scarecrows than birds in the neighborhood practically. As for pumpkins…well, I’m wondering if they have their own pumpkin patch in the backyard or something.

It’s impossible not to stop and stare at the house. And yet, even as I make fun, I’m anxiously awaiting other holidays…will they have a giant blow up turkey? What about Xmas? Will they have their own snow making machine?

They’re putting my .89 cent plastic pumpkins to shame. Shame I say!!

*Sigh*

Do you do a lot of decorating for the holidays? What’s your favorite? As for me, I’ve already told you about my favorite, so I’ll just direct you to last years Jimbo post.
